tirely'is'olates the ice and salt from thedce cream andz'fr'om the opening through ,which access is had to the ice cream.

A stillfurtlier object resides in thel provision of a container having these advantages and capacities and which is of simple and durable construction, practically indestructible and easy and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and handle.

Other objects and advantages reside in certain novel features of the construction, arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 isa view in elevation showing one embodiment of the invention,

`Figure 2 is a view thereof in diametrical vertical section, parts being shown in elevation for the sake of illustration,

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3 3 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a modified form of closure for the ice cream container, and

Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of the parts shown in Figure 4.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1v designates an outer or ice container which is made of metal adapted to resist the corroding effect of salt and ice. The container 1 has a tubular body portion 2 and a bottom 3 and fthe flange around theopening may be offset inwardly to a greater extent, as indicated at 5a, in Figure 4, .and against the outer faceof the lipl 5b of thisl flange a 'closure plate 6a. may -fbe'` seated.. Theclosure .plate 6? is formed against the lip 5b by means of a screw l8a bearing against the plate Gaiand threadedly fconnected-Qwith the hub of a spider 7, the spider 7e being mounted on..segmental guides v.1() of Z form in cross section. Atthe upper .end of thetubular body `2an annular head plate 15is provided and may be integral with -or otherwisesuitably connected to the body 2. An inner orice creamcontainer 16 is provided and comprises a tubular body 17 having a closed bottom 18 and having a flange 19 at its upper end whereby it is connected with the annular head plate 15. The flange 19 may be .welded or otherwise suitably secured to the head plate and to the tubular body l17 of the container 16 and as far as practical and desirable these several parts may be integral with each other. Within the container 16 a package of ice cream is placed, the package of ice cream being contained in apaper carton 20 and being entirely housed and contained in the inner container'l. The paper carton. which contains the body of the ice cream may be waxed or parailined and is sealed at the factory where the ice is made. In other words at the factory the ice cream is poured into the cartons, sealed and frozen therein. Thereafter the cartons with the ice cream in the same are placed in the inner container 16 and the inner containers are kept sealed and cool by the ice in the outer containers. The inner containers 16 are made of metal having a relatively high degree of conductivity soy that the ice within the outer container will maintain the ice cream in a frozen condition. On top of the carton of ice cream and in the recess provided by the flange 19 a closure plate 25 is seated. This closure plate is held in position by a clamping bolt 26 which has a foot piece 27 bearing down on the plate 25. The upper end of the clamping screw 26 isthreadedly connected with a a cap or cover 28 which is releasably fastened to the upper end of the annular head plate 15 of the outer container. Any suitable means may be employed for fastening the cap 28 to the head plate 15 and one such means consists of segmental proj eetions 30 integral with the flange of the cap 28 and co-o erable withy segmental guides 31 of Z-shape orm in cross section, the guides 31 being 'secured by bolts and nuts 32 to theyhead-platel.

Byzentirely isolating the ice.v or,refrigerant from the entrance to the ice cream container the possibility y of ice oru salt Y gettingjinto, the ice cream is obviated and the operationof removing the ice cream is greatly facilitatd since no ice need be removed when the ice cream is being removed. Theyfeature of; pro- Viding the ice cream in cartons avoids the 'necessity of washing out the containers L16 :since the ice. cream does not direotllyftouch l'the same. l'lhe metal makin ,up the fcontainvers ,is practically indestructi leandwill not now in use. n It is to.- be `understood rot iin a `short time as Willzthe Woodentubs .that the vmeans l;for
